As part of the changeover from conventional X-ray technology (RT) to digital radiography (DR), a flexible and automatable test system was to be developed that allows a wide variety of components or samples such as pipes, sheets and welded constructions with up to 60 kg to be recorded. A high level of repeatability of the sample position is also required for series examinations. The angular position of the components to be tested in relation to the beam axis must be just as easily variable as the distance between the radiation source and the component and between the component and the detector.
